Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place ½ cup butter in a 9×13-inch pan and put the pan in the preheating oven until the butter is fully melted, about 2–4 minutes. Use oven mitts to remove the hot pan.
- Pour 2 cups graham cracker crumbs into the pan with the melted butter. Stir with a fork until the crumbs are evenly moistened by the butter, then press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the pan to form the crust.
- Evenly sprinkle 1 cup chocolate chips over the crust, then ¾ cup butterscotch chips, then 1 cup shredded coconut, and finally 1 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts).
- Open the can and drizzle all 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top of the layered ingredients.
- Bake in the preheated 350°F oven for 25–30 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and begin to pull away slightly from the sides of the pan.
- Remove from oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into bars.
Notes
Tips
Store dessert bars at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Fridge:
If you don’t want to keep these at room temperature, you can store 7 layer bars in the fridge in an airtight container. There probably won’t be any leftovers though!
Freezer:
You can definitely freeze 7 layer bars if you’ve made them ahead or you’re saving them for another time. I recommend slicing them and storing them in a freezer safe container. If you make more than one layer of bars, separate them with parchment paper. Thaw on the counter or in the fridge.
